Book - Blues Traveling

Folks in the Delta say that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil so that he could become King of Delta Blues.

Blues Traveling: The Holy Sites of Delta Blues not only will tell you at which crossroads that legendary deal was supposedly made but also guide you to many other hallowed sites that nourished Mississippi’s signature music.

With this book in hand, you can see the juke joints and churches, visit the birthplaces and graves of blues greats, walk down the dusty roads and over the levee, eat some barbecue and greens, sit on the bank of the Mississippi River, and hear some down-home music.
